I play in
http://www.pokertouramerica.com events. I started 2 saturday's ago and won, and also finished 3rd this past week. So far, it's been a great experience. One of the dealers was a complete moron who was barely paying attention and must have dealt at least a dozen exposed cards and was constantly messing up pots. Other than him, the dealers were great. You usually tip the dealer 5 bucks and anotherr 5 if you make the final table. They have a season ending tournament with the point leaders and the winner gets a seat at a WPT event or something similar. I'm only doing it because here in SoFla there is very little NL tournament action and it's a pretty good time. I'll check your links out to see if there's anymore FL events.
